Review by overlordr Dec 06, 2010 (edited about 1 year ago)
To Sebhelyesfarku: Anyone who knows house knows that little of this album is acid outside of tracks 6,7 and 9--acid house by definition is angular, deliberately discordant; incidentally, this is how a lot of Cabaret Voltaire's best music is. Most of the tracks have a major-key melody; therefore not acid. If this had been an attempt to "cash in" it would have had to have been released before early 1990 (and why wouldn't they have done Madchester, which had eclipsed acid as the UK club sound of the day by then?)--acid had existed in Chicago since the summer of 1986 (I was a pre-teen listener to WBMX and WGCI mix shows, still having about 100 mixes by nine different DJs I taped from the radio). Pioneer groups like Mr. Fingers, Phuture and Mr. Lee were either calling it quits or moving into other forms of house by the time this album was even recorded (December of 1989, according to Chris Connelly, who with his Ministry mates managed the one Acid Horse single with CabVolt when Marshall Jefferson had food poisoning for a week). I think it was Kirk and Mallinder wishing to work in a different style, much like a pop artist trying jazz (a'la Phil Collins, who Mallinder ends up sounding like a whispering version of, funnily enough), or the Rolling Stones integration of soul and blues into their own music. Hell, listen to most Motorhead songs and you can hear Lemmy's appreciation of blues. The chance to hear a collaboration of electronic music legends (CabVolt, Jefferson, Ten City & Byron Stingily) is ultimately more important than what comes out of it.

That being said, what DID come out of it isn't crap. Lighten up.
Rated 3/5

Marshall Jefferson's collaboration, Minute by minute is the hands down winner in this double pack. Quite orthodox Cabaret Voltaire that sounds very 80's-ish and retro is integrated into Jefferson's knack for house . So unique that it could even work in a modern set, this tune has that high-pitched R & B singing which all male black artists were trying to achieve. That could be the only fault in the disco-ey bumpin' tune.
